YAMACRAw's EARLY BLAZE.
Flames in a Farm Street Residence
and Grocery.

Fire broke out at 2;30 o'clock this morn
ing in the residence adjoining the grocery
kept by Mrs B. Smith, at the northwest
corner of Farm and Bryan streets.
Policeman Williams who was patrolling
Farm street heard cries of fire and ran to
box IS, at West Broad and Broughton street
and turned in an alarm. The fire started
under the stairway in the hall, between
the residence and grocery. 1t was got
under control before gaining much head
way, and was confined to the lower part of
the house. The damage is principally by
water, and will probably not exceed $500.

eAN RUSHING LEGISLATION.
Everything in the nature of legislation is
being rushed now by both houses, and the
indications are that nearly all the most
important measures will be acted upon at an
early day.
A bill is now under consideration author
sizing the Comptroller to refund money to
persons who have paid double taxes, or
whose property has been sold for taxes by
mistake after taxes have been paid. As the
law now is there is no relief except through
the Legislature, which is not an easy mode
of relief, especially where the amounts are
small The bill will probably pass, as it is
very good measure.
THE LIEN BILL.
The mechanics lien bill that gave rise to
so much discussion week or SO ago is now
apparently almost forgotten in the press of
work occasioned by the rapid introduction
of other matters Of different character, but
aOf as much or greater Importance.
The prerequisite poll tax bill is progressing
slowly and its friends still think it will pass
by good vote in spite of the violent oppo-
sition exhibited to this measure by Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans
THREE NEW COUNTIES.
Three new counties are about to be estab

Pine Level; Lee county, from all the main
land portion of Manatee county, with the
county-seat at Fort Myers, and Osceola
county, from portions of Orange and
Brevard counties, with the county-seat at
Kssimmee. Other counties are proposed,
but unlike the others, there is considerable
opposition to them notwithstanding the inn
mense territory in that section of the State.

Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1887-02-20

Twenty-six years ago, this winter, our country was agitated by the threat of several States to secede from the Union and to back up the movement by force of arms if necessary A similar threat now comes from one of our sister Territories, Southern Dakota They threaten to break into the Union of States or perish in the attempt, they de- clare in languarge, which cannot be mis. understood, that they vii fight any one who offers resistance. A leader of the State movement says, nothing will be done until after the adjournment of the Territorial Legislature and of Congress. Then, if no recognition has been exten. ded to the government ihat was set up somewhere on the prairics few months ago, it will call it's Legislature, No op- position IS expected from the Territorial or Federal authorities. but, if it shoull come, this adherent of a State which - not yet recognized says tha, the Goversor will call for volunteers, and with s,oca men at his back he would not be airail to meet the United States, army or any other farce that might be sent against aim. The State Treasure, will notify the County Treausers to pay taxes tc him, and if they fail 70 do so he will pro- ceed against them with the militia. How much of all ,his is the mere mouthng, of lot of scaly politicians and adveu. turers who have their eyes fixed upon a large supply of attractive offices, and hope 10 commend themselves to the peo. pie by their valor it would be difficult to say, but of the fact that these pretended government exists and that it threatens to set itself up in opposition to the regular authorities no doubt need be entertained. It is on the ground and it may contemplate mischief. While the people of the Territory as whole have too much sense 10 countenance anything of the kind proposed by the political tramps of Huron and vicinity, they have not made their opposition to lunacy of this description as plain as it should have been. Painful as it would be the necessity of Uncle Sam using the shin gle upon yonng and tender State, it is probable that he would not shrink from the operation if he came to the conclu- sion that the welfare of the youngling demanded it.

sITY AND CouNTY OFFICIAL PAPER:

The meeting held last nighe at l'e Court House in this city fully expresses the sentiments of our people in reference to the scheme now before the Legislature to divide Cochise county. The propo- sition to create a new county was matched and born in the bosom of few land spectators in the town of Wilcox These people would sacrifice the entire interests of our people in the furtherance of their own nciarious schemes. We dis like to speak in such terms of our neigh boring towns, but justice demands that this eternal county division scheme be put at rest. There is not county in all of this Territory which is in possession of tso much assessable property or too large an extent of territory. The taxes of our Arizona counties are so high that they prevent immigration to our borders, and the ends of justice demands that no more new counties be created to increase our present high rate of taxation, 1.-the present boundary lines of our different counties are permitted to remain un. changed not many years vlil elapse be- fore our taxation will be reduced to very low rates. Then we can assert with some degree of confidence and truth that Arizona holds out superior inducements to the thrifty men and women who are desirous of building themselves a home on the broad prairies ct the west. Then we can point with pride to the thrift and industry of our people to the prosper ous and Hourishing condition of our Ter ritory. But on the other hand if every little hamlet in our land is permitted to organize new counties and contract and accumulate mountains of Questionable debts, if every little town in our Territory is to construct court houses and all of the necessary paraphernalia to conduct county governments, then we will be. at the mercy of designing land spectators and contractors of all characters and de- scriptions. We had better right now lay down this principle of government that when county is to be divided let it be done by vote of the tax payers of such county, then the burdens they are to bear rests with themselves alone. Let us take it out of the hands of scheming poll ticians and spectators. Questions of such moment as the division of coun- ty can always be entrusted safely to the men who bear the burden of its responsi- bilities.
